hi,

thank you for providing a brief history of you. as you should know that fibromyalgia is a condition of the pain in the muscle fibers. there is a limitation for the medicine to work behind this. apart from this the other issues start up in a later stage as you got polymyalgia rheumatica. I can understand from this history as you have pain in many muscles and the pain keeps moving. well, I can recommend you to look for an alternative medicine as an optional. like doing meditation, breathing exercises, yoga and fitness training at a later stage. You can meet up a physical therapist and look forward for a proper guided exercise prescription which will surely help.

I have myself seen many cases with the same and followed with a physical therapy later on. as taking too much medicine on high dosages will damage the kidneys and anything in excess is never good.

kindly see if you can meet up a physical therapist.

you may find end number on forum on internet about fibromyalgia where many have got helped by meditation, yoga, breathing exercises and fitness training. I have actually summed all what I could to help you.

hope to see you cheerful soon.
